"The purpose of Community Unity is to promote unity in diversity by
encouraging understanding between people who are different from one another."
The intention of Community Unity is not to advocate, but to
educate. When we haven't met people who believe and behave differently than we do, when
we haven't looked into their faces and listened to them tell their stories, it is sometimes
easy for us to judge many by what we have heard about a few. Lack of information and
communication can lead us to speak and behave in ways that are damaging to others, that are
contrary to the spirit of our own values, and that reflect badly on ourselves.
We hope, through presenting information, to encourage meaningful dialog, lessen division, clear away misunderstanding, counter-act stereotyping, and open hearts.
